And a heavyweight from Cornell University delivered to lift his team to a dramatic win over Illinois in a battle of top-10 teams.

The second Grapple at the Garden event offered a unique and action-packed smorgasbord program of wrestling and the supportive Madison Square Garden crowd had plenty to cheer about on Sunday.

Jenkins won the main event in a battle of past NCAA champions at 163 pounds. Jenkins and former Penn State teammate Frank Molinaro were tied after regulation before Jenkins struck for the winning takedown to win 4-2 in overtime.

Jenkins, a past Junior World champion in freestyle, is now competing in mixed martial arts.

“It was a lot of fun because I got the win against a guy I don’t like that much,” Jenkins said. “I had more heart than he did. This is what I love to do and that’s what the crowd loves to see. It’s great to have a lot of MMA guys giving back to wrestling. It’s big for the sport.”

Edgar, well-known for being hugely successful in MMA, looked dominant in recording a quick fall over Phillipe Nover. Edgar and Nover compete in the lightweight division as fighters.

“It was great – it’s been eight years since I competed in wrestling,” Edgar said. “To be able to do this again, and my kids get to watch, it’s a blessing. Wrestling in the Garden, how can you say no to this? Wrestling is in my blood and it’s the best sport in the world. This is so cool that fans get to see a full array of wrestling out here. It’s the best of both worlds.”

The charismatic, high-energy Warren, a World champion in Greco-Roman wrestling and a Bellator mixed martial arts champion, delivered perhaps the best show for the fans.

Warren went for broke from start to finish, building a huge lead before body-locking and pinning Mike Torriero in his freestyle bout.

Warren led a group of current MMA stars with wrestling ties who took part in a dual meet in freestyle wrestling. A pumped-up Warren executed a back flip in celebration of his win Sunday.

“This was a lot of fun,” Warren said. “My first love is wrestling. We’ve got a huge Madison Square Garden full of people. This is my kind of place. Anything to help the kids and bring back wrestling, the baddest man on the planet will be there for. I was honored to be a part of this event.”

Past World Team member Shawn Bunch, who qualified the U.S. for the Olympics in 2012 at 60 kg/132 lbs. in freestyle, earned a 2-1 win over three-time NCAA Division II champion Waylon Lowe. Bunch prevailed despite looking about 20 pounds lighter than the burly Lowe.

The Titan Mercury Wrestling Club defeated the New York Athletic Club in a dual that featured five freestyle bouts, one Greco-Roman match and one women’s freestyle match.

Titan Mercury’s Kyle Hutter opened with a 6-2 win over Frank Perrelli in the dual’s first match at 55 kg/121 lbs. Teammate B.J. Futrell followed with a 10-5 win over Brandon Precin in a battle of past All-Americans at 60 kg/132 lbs.

Titan Mercury’s Montell Marion, a two-time NCAA runner-up, powered in on a leg attack late in the match to earn a win over a Russian opponent at 66 kg/145.5 lbs.

New York AC wrestler Enock Francois looked strong in posting a convincing 7-0 win over Austin Trotman at 84 kg/185 lbs. World Team Trials runner-up Tyrell Fortune of Titan Mercury continued to show progress in downing Kyle Massey 8-0.

"It was definitely a great experience to compete here and it was amazing to be in this atmosphere," Fortune said. "I need to continue to improve my wrestling, work out with the right guys and be around the best coaches. I just have to keep working hard and learn as much as I can."

In the featured college dual meet, sixth-ranked Cornell and seventh-ranked Illinois were deadlocked 15-15 entering the final match at heavyweight.

The match went through two cycles of overtime before Cornell’s Stryker Lane earned a hard-fought 4-3 victory over Illinois wrestler Christopher Lopez. That gave the Big Red a dramatic 18-15 win.

“Oh my goodness, that was so fun,” Lane said. “I could hear the crowd cheering for me. That got me pumped up and made me forget how I tired I was. I was glad I was able to get the job done at one of the best venues in the world.”

Cornell and Illinois highlighted the large field of college squads that each competed in a pair of duals on Sunday. Cornell, Princeton and Hofstra each went 2-0 in the event.

Delgado, an Illinois junior, was named Outstanding Wrestler in the college division. The top-ranked Delgado, a returning NCAA champion, topped second-ranked Nahshon Garrett of Cornell 6-2 at 125 pounds. Garrett placed third at the 2013 NCAAs as a freshman.

“I didn’t think I wrestled well at all,” Delgado said. “I wasn’t moving my feet too well and my shots weren’t crisp. I just had to gut it out. It was a tough match, but I’m going to keep getting better and it won’t be that close the next time.”

Maroulis bolted out to a quick five-point lead and then finished strong in a 12-6 win over Canada’s Jillian Gallays in women’s freestyle at 55 kg/121 lbs.

“I wrestled Jill about a year and a half ago, and caught her and pinned her,” Maroulis said. “I just tried to get my offense going this time and I was up 5-0 right away. I was trying to put the match away, but rushed a couple of shots and she came back. I came back in the second period with a counter takedown and then shot a double to finish the match.

“It was incredible to be able to wrestle here. It was a great opportunity for us to compete in an arena like this.”

Canada’s Erica Wiebe hit a second-period headlock to take control in defeating World champion Adeline Gray 5-2 at 72 kg/158.5 lbs.
